GEORGE STRAIT has paid a touching tribute to KENT FINLAY, the songwriter and club owner who helped the country music veteran land his big break, following his death on Monday (02Mar15).
Finlay passed away at his home in Martindale, Texas, at the age of 77 and his old friend, Strait, has offered up a few kind words to mark the sad occasion.
In a statement, the I Cross My Heart singer writes, "Country music - and just music in general really - lost a great friend today. His legend will live forever in Texas, though. We'll never forget our friend Kent Finlay. Sad day."
Finlay was the owner of the Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Texas, where Strait landed his first gig with his band, Ace in the Hole, back in 1975.
He was an early believer in Strait's talent and after the singer struggled to land a big record deal, Finlay and fellow songwriter Daryl Staedtler decided to team up with the artist and make regular road trips to Nashville to get his music heard.
Their efforts eventually led to Strait signing his first major label contract with MCA Records in 1981.

British supermodel CARA DELEVINGNE and singer ST. VINCENT have fuelled reports of a romance after reportedly kissing and dancing together at a show in New York City.
The runway beauty first sparked rumours she was more than just friends with St. Vincent, real name Annie Clark, at the BRIT Awards in London last week (25Feb15) when she was caught on camera caressing the singer's back as they sat at a table together at the O2 Arena.
They were later photographed attending an awards afterparty, where they allegedly locked lips, and now the reported new couple has continued its rumoured relationship in the Big Apple.
Delevingne and St. Vincent met up with a group of pals, including actress Zoe Kravitz, on Sunday (01Mar15) and headed to the Queen of the Night show at the Paramount Hotel, where an onlooker claims they put on a number of public displays of affection.
The source tells the New York Post, "Cara and Annie snuck off to the bathroom during dinner and slow-danced at the end of the show. At one point they shared a chair and were hugging and kissing."
Representatives for the two stars have yet to comment on the relationship rumours.
Delevingne has previously been linked to One Direction star Harry Styles and Unbroken actor Jack O'Connell, while she split from actress Michelle Rodriguez last May (14) after a brief romance.
Meanwhile, St. Vincent's exes reportedly include Sleater-Kinney member and Portlandia star, Carrie Brownstein.

Scottish singer LULU was pressured to lose weight by DAVID BOWIE while they were dating in the 1970s.
The Shout hitmaker began a brief romance with the rocker in 1974, when she was 26 years old, and she has now revealed he encouraged her to shift the pounds in a bid to improve her image.
She tells Britain's Event magazine, "I had a small window when I was involved with Bowie... We were so connected because of the music, it was the personal stuff that was... odd. Some of the conversations we had were insane.
"He told me I should lose weight. I was a bit embarrassed because I was always a little chubster (sic), but he was talking in terms of my image - that was the thing then, that heroin chic look. He didn't say it when I was in a compromising situation with him."
